Some of the best advice I heard for a married couple is "The grass is greenest where you water it." It's true about what goes on inside of our own minds and emotions, we will flourish where we put our attention. Want more fear? Feed the fear. Want more joy? Celebrate all you can. Want more beauty? Look for the beauty in all that you see. Want more humor? You know what I mean.Story for the day:One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.He said, “My son, the battle is between 2 wolves. One is Evil.It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,"Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."Blessing for the day:May you see what is good within you and nourish it with love.

Advice for the day:When you see the frailty within you, bless it for it is somehow there to serve you too, and then set it free.Love,Aunt Laya

About Me

I love to connect with people and make a positive difference in this world. No one gets a life without challenges. Some people seem to have more than their fair share. It’s my mission to ease the way for who ever I can. So, I wrote a book titled "You Don't Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way--What I Wish Someone Had Told Me." It’s the book I wish someone had written for me when I was searching as a teen, because I learned way too much “the hard way.” If you're interested you can read some of that on my website (check out the links below) or on the book's page on Amazon.com. (If you click on 'surprise me' it will get you to other places in the book if you want to read more.)
I love being married and I love being a mom. I love my dog and cat and chickens. If you search around the blog, I've got photos of my dog and cat posted. There's more than one dog and cat here though. Hint: my dog and cat are have the same color fur. :-)
Enjoy!
